Milwaukee Bucks v Oklahoma City Thunder: Championship - Emirates NBA Cup 2024 - Source: Getty
For years, the Milwaukee Bucks have been one of the toughest teams in the entire league. They were the NBA champions just three years ago, and most of that core is still there.
That's why it was surprising that we wouldn't be able to watch Giannis Antetokounmpo play on Christmas Day.
Moreover, the former 2x MVP admitted to being upset about it, questioning the league's methods for picking the teams that would get to play:
“I’m a little bit upset or kind of questioning it,” Antetokounmpo told The Athletic in an interview posted on Monday. “But I really believe there’s probably an algorithm that takes place within the NBA that shows who is the most attractive team or which team gets the most attention for them to be able to play in the Christmas game.”
